Looking Back

What a week!…

  1. First with my mother-in-laws major surgery and now the waiting to see what her diagnosis is. (She still can not see properly) Please keep her (us) in prayer…
  2. Second the busy work week I had at school. The kids seemed to be flying by the seat of their pants! Craziness everywhere! In the moments I’m with them, am I really getting through…
  3. Third the passing of my Uncle, who had just recently celebrated 48 years of marriage to my Auntie last month. The last time I saw him I was Isabel’s age, but he was still a great husband, father, brother, son, and friend. He will be missed dearly.

Even when my life is in chaos; my calender devotional says it all…

“The Lord doesn’t always remove the sources of stress in our lives…but He’s always there and cares for us. We can feel His arms around us on the darkest night.”
– FOTF: Loving My Wife Back to Health

“He takes care of his people like a shepherd. He gathers them like lambs in his arms and carries them close to him.” Isaiah 40:11 

Even in all this stress, sadness, worry, and grief, I can feel His arms around me, comforting me, carrying me. He’s there. Just within my reach…

 

I’m a bit behind on posting things and probably won’t get around to doing it all. I just want to keep moving forward. The next few days, I just want to relax and reflect…

First Grade: Day 23

Today is Friday!

Friday in class is called “Fantastic Fridays“.

On Fantastic Fridays, they attend music class with Mr. G, just like on Wednesdays. My class, the 3 year olds,  also had music with Mr. G today. They were captivated by him and his guitar!

Today is also the Friday Folder, which is folder filled with all of the weeks graded work. Isabel’s was stuffed this week! They really do a lot of work each week!

This is the clown I mentioned before that were hanging the classroom for a while, she got to bring it home.
I love that her clown is the only one with it’s feet turned inward!

Who can make a rainbow?
There is a little song, that she sings with this as well.

There is a new bulletin board in class. It’s a place where Teacher Mrs. B puts up students work that is fantastic.

Math packet that was on the board.

Her number writing has improved so much since school began.
She really focuses on doing her work well.

Back of math packet.
She did each page correct and complete.

This is part of her math homework that she does every day after school. She completes one side at school and then the other side is homework at home. The next day she hands it in and then we wait until Friday to see how she did. This week she got all the answers right. (I later learned that 1 of the papers from the week was on the bulletin board in class – probably get it next Friday.)

 There is more homework in the Friday Folder but I’m not going to post it all. She did a great job this week on all her work.
